Ok, here's the deal: I recently acquired two NCR 386/16 units, no FD or HD,
4MB RAM. These are strange passive-backplane machines, the CPU is on one
daughterboard and the RAM is on one or two other boards.

I'm a Mac software engineer, and I hate DOS, so I'd love to get one of these
units up and running with LINUX. Ideal configuration would include X.

My main questions concern memory, video, and speed. 4mb RAM will suffice
for LINUX, but how about LINUX and X?

I have no hard disk, so I'm planning on purchasing an AT compatible
hard drive.  I am pretty much stuck with 16mhz. Will I be hating life
trying to run X on this platform? Or will a fast video board make up
for the slow cpu? Any recommendations on a video card (especially what
to avoid) would be appreciated.
